My street walk

Coming in from the South

There were two guys that inspired me during the on campus. This is Kitoy and Toto two guys coming in from the South, i had a chance to be with them. Walking along Katipunan in Quezon city, we had a little chat that up to now is in my mind. This was the peace inside them that i observe although they are coming from the south which is the news now the way they talk and act is calm, and observant on every thing they see here in Manila.

I love the way they praise their province, its seem to be beautiful and charming, unlike here in Manila if you just sit in a mall and look at the people you will get dizzy it seems to be chaotic. I guess what i learn from this two guys is the zen of calmness, they take things one at a time and put their heart into it.

A day with a Bishop

I had a chance to take pictures of Archbishop Oscar Cruz in his office at the CBCP in Intramuros, Manila. I chose to have him as a subject in my assignment for I wanted to see the life of a priest as a regular person.
While doing this assignment, I learned that he maintained a blog to express his thoughts on various matters besides religion.
Bishop Cruz starts his day by waking up at 4 in the morning, uttering a brief prayer, and then saying mass.
After the mass, he does some reading in his office before taking breakfast at 8 am. After that, he goes back to the office to review some cases of priests who may need to be defrocked.
Besides painting and planting vegetables, he also writes books.
Being with him at the CBCP offered me a glimpse of his daily routine not only as a Archbishop but as a regular person; a person, just like you and me.
